Bade the Fishers a fond farewell this morning and set off on the 5 hour drive up to Hawke Bay (3 hours in a car apparantly, but the van ain't no Aston Martin).
Most of the trip was through unremarkable farming country so we saw lots of sheep again and little of anything else. Necked a couple of commendable pies though in a little town called Featherston. Chicken and Veg for the missus, Mince and Cheese for me.
Slight reservations as to whether the latter combo belongs in a savoury pastry.
Found a charming campsite near Havelock North. I know 'charming' is a girly adjective, but it really does sum this place up. Designed and built in the '50s and obviously never added to or altered since. We kept expecting to hear someone announcing the start of the nobbly knees competition over the Tanoy.

Cheese and mince suitable for a pie filling? They used to do that one as a toastie in the Monkseaton Arms Dave man. Bring back the radioactive cellopahne I say.
